You always hear people say that having kids changes everything, but you can't fully realize it until you have children yourself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's one of those things where people tell you that when you have kids it will change your perspective on life, and you're like, 'Yea, yea,' but then you really understand it when it happens to you.
Having children is life-changing, to state the obvious. It's a gigantic shift in your life and I welcomed it.
When you have kids you do grow up. I have just started realising it now-it changes the world, having children.
I think the biggest change has been realizing I now have three children.
For some people, becoming a parent does change them, but it never changed me.
When you have kids, you start thinking about their future and you forget about yours.
Having children makes you see the world in a completely different way. When you're responsible for those little lives, you can't slough it off or forget about it until later.
In 2014, having children is complicated and daunting and fraught - as much as it's always been, but now we're talking about it. And the more we talk about it, the more of us will realize that we're not going through it alone. Far from it.
Having children really changes your priorities.
It's hard enough to be in a marriage and then have a kid, then kids: it changes everything.
